Eric Eckert

Hi, welcome to my portfolio.

My name is Eric Eckert. I am a third year student at the University of Washington in Seattle. I have interests in a wide variety of subjects. My main skills lie in computer programming, but my love for physics also drove me to take classes in mechanical engineering.

Programming

You can find a summary of my github account here. It contains most of the projects I have done both in class and independantly. I’ve had experience programming in various contexts. Here is the link to my actual Github profile.

Research

I am very passionate about my research. I work in the UW Steele Ability Lab that researches orthotics. The project I work on specifically is optimizing ankle foot orthoses, or AFOs. I began my research in fall of 2015, and am still a part of the lab.

June 3 I attended my first conference, the NorthWestern Biomechanics Symposium, which this year was held in Vancouver, BC in Canada. You can read the abstract here.

Design

I have had some experience designing models with AutoCAD software. My best project is a simple model of a hidden blade inspired by the video game Assassin’s Creed. You can view the design here.
